Many people think
Robocop 2 was not as good as the original. I think it was
even better though. The film opens with the police force
of Detroit city about to strike, a powerful addictive
drug Nuke spreading everywhere, while Omni Consumer
Products is about to foreclose on the city for not paying
back a loan. Drugs, police strikes, and a company about
to take over a city is quite a backdrop for a story.
Intermix gunfights, dark humor, and action and one has a
winning formula for a film. And to top it off OCP is
trying to make a replacement Robocop whom they can
replace all the human cops with to save money.

The film's main villain in the begining
is Cain the leader of a worldwide crime group that
manufacturers the drug Nuke. Within his group are a cocky
ruthless boy, and a girlfriend of sorts . The city is in
such desperate need of funds to pay back a loan to mega
corporation OCP that they hold telethons whose aim is to
get donations. The mayor himself hosts some of them.

In the film Robocop battles Cain and his
many troops. He attacks one of the factories they make
nuke at with a variety of truly memorable one of a kind
shots. Dozens of men firing machine guns at Robocop is no
problem, he just picks them off one by one with his
supergun. Cain fights back with an electromagnetic weapon
and a surgeon from hell that dismembers Robocop piece by
piece to be delivered in front of a group of striking
cops.

When the pieces of Robocop are brought in
a female engineer tries to sabatoge Robocop's programming
and repairs to further her new Robocop 2 project. Some of
her previous work in this area lead to a cyborg that
removed his head and one that shot itself in the head.
She fills Robocop with a series of objectives so long and
so silly that Robocop is a joke in his efforts to do his
job. Robocop is put out on the street as a walking Mister
Roger who hestiates to shoot, promotes "civic
lesssons" and reads Mirando rights to a corpse all
the while interjecting humor to "brighten the
mood." In his new reprogrammed state Robocop can not
respond well to kid criminals that are stealing out in
the open but draws and fires his gun when he sees a man
light a cigarette up. Robocop ultimately has a showdown
with Cain in which he rides a motorcyle and leaps forward
up into the truck that Cain is driving and racing towards
him.

Criminal Mastermind Cain survives the
battle but is in critical condition. OCP ultimately
decides to have his brain transplanted into a machine
monstrosity which is Robocop 2 the future of law
enforcement according to OCP. Cain is kept in line via
his dependence on the drug Nuke which OCP gives to him in
exchange for doing what he is told. With Cain no longer
running the Nuke drug operations a young boy takes over
the operations. When the city is about to be foreclosed
on by OCP he offers to bail them out. The mayor comes
down in person to discuss the arrangements. His assistant
states "these people are criminals" the mayor
responds with "I hate labelers." The mayor is
one of the cooler characters in the film along with the
boy criminal. As the boy shows the mayor the money he
will give them he lectures the mayor on the economics of
drugs. The boy states that Nuke operations employ lots of
people, and the drug will be safer and cheaper if the
cops get off their backs. The metal monstrosity that is
Robocop 2 that houses the brain of Cain then enters the
scene and tries to kill everyone. The mayor escapes to
deliver his infamous line in front of OCP, "That
thing is a killer" as he points to Robocop 2 that
OCP is praising as their greatest triumph. The film ends
with a metal on metal showdown between Robocop and
Robocop 2 naturally.
